摘要
A novel all-optical switch based on nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonator with embedding metallic nanowires in the ring resonators has been simulated and analyzed by the finite difference time domain method. We placed Ag-nanowires inside the ring resonator to reduce light intensity. The ring resonator has a low switching time of about 0.6 ps and low switching power equal to 36.5 mW/µm2. Since the structure is of small size and ultra-fast time, it has the potentiality to be applied in optical integration circuits and nano-plasmonic information processing.
